I just got a refurbished ThinkPad L15 Gen 1 laptop out to a local customer.
He asked for Linux, so I recommended and pre-installed Linux Mint Debian Edition.
I should have taken a screenshot of the 'fetch' output on this laptop. Nice upgrades. Intel i7 (10th gen), upgraded to 32GB memory (two 16GB modules) and a new 1TB Crucial NVME SSD.

Get the next task done... and then the next one.
Today I am doing a System Migration from a ThinkPad T530 to a ThinkPad T14 Gen 1.
Customer wanted a lighter laptop easier to carry to the meetings that she uses it to take notes and other meeting business.
Windows 10 was using "Legacy" boot. I converted to UEFI:
mbr2gpt /convert /allowfullos
then set it be able to boot from nvme:
sc.exe config stornvme start= boot
Shutdown with:
shutdown -s -t 1
Made CloneZilla image, which I will then be applying to the ThinkPad T14.

Good morning.
Anyone know of a guide for generating an SSH key file (.pem or .ppk) for allowing FileZilla (file transfer program) to access a remote server with a key file instead of a password?
So far, what I have tried has not worked. I am likely missing a step, but not sure what it is.
#ssh #filezilla #sysadmin
Agreed. The area I live in is about 97 percent white.
Still massively dysfunctional, unintelligent and unhealthy.
The main reason I am not a white supremacist is that the stupidest people I know who make the worst decisions are white.
I am sure people of other races also make equally dumb decisions (or worse, if you think whites are inherently better)... but "my race makes slightly less terrible decisions that your race" isn't a great foundation.
Yes

Good summary of the situation. Also glad that he mentioned alternatives like Nostr

I am hoping to make more online sales. I was planning on shipping with UPS.
Excellent! Another reason to be happy about the XLibre fork.
Tech innovation can be much improved by people who are not afraid of committing "wrongthink".

The "No Kings" name for the protests suggests an anarchist or voluntaryist mindset... but I don't think many of the participating protested would agree with that anti-government stance.

More reason to keep publishing on alternatives. For RetroEdge, we use our own #peertube server.

I thought this kind of thing had mostly stopped happening.
Few people use Gopher, but it has seen a mild resurgence due to interest in most things "retro".

So glad that I haven't spent anything on new Apple hardware or services for at least a decade.
Vote with your dollars. Defund incompetence and DEI. Inclusiveness for its own sake is a recipe for ruin.
If you do want DEI and what it stands for, by all means go out and buy another MacBook.

Attempt at Reputation Repair is my take. My hope is that they are not successful. Facebook has proven itself to not operating in the interests of liberty and freedom.

Thank you for recommending cwm. It checks a lot of boxes for me.
[ ] written in C
[ ] small
[ ] no bar by default
[ ] license that is appealing to me - ISC
[ ] config file that is not XML (which can be bulky, cumbersome)
I installed in on Devuan and have been experimenting with the configuration. It is taking me a while to figure out setting keyboard shortcuts I want, but shouldn't take me too much longer. So far, I really like it.
Right now I'm on an #openbox kick. Haven't used bspwm in quite a while.
I should give cwm a try. I haven't yet. Have you shared any screenshots of your cwm?
Was going through my old pictures.
This one is from February 2020. Was trying out bspwm with a Manjaro Community Edition on a ThinkPad T420s laptop.

Just installed BunsenLabs Linux on a ThinkPad X13 with Ryzen 7 processor.
First impression is that they did a good job with the defaults, OpenBox theming, keyboard shortcuts and initial instructions.

Listening to this right now:

I'd never be interested in using this, but I can understand why someone would go through the trouble of creating a Windows look-alike Linux distro.

Anyone here listening to podcasts the original way with some kind of software that downloads the audio and then syncs it with a dedicated audio player (not necessarily an iPod) ?
If so, feel free to share what you use for software, syncing and audio playing device.

Just burned a CD
Ebay seller shipped the Ryzen AM4 cpu just in a plastic bag between two pieces of cardboard and then in a small bubble mailer.
The pins were bent.
Took me about an hour of careful work with an exacto knife under a light to get them all bent back in place.
I guess that is one reason that AMD switched to LGA instead of PGA for their AM5 processors.
I do like AM4 and bent pins are rarely a problem... but when you do have to deal with bent pins, they sure can be frustrating.
